Trifluridine, also called trifluorothymidine (TFT) is an antiviral medication used to treat herpes simplex infections of the eye.[1] It may also be used for vaccinia infections of the eye that can occur following smallpox vaccination.[1] It is used as an eye drop.[1]

Common side effects include irrigation, eyelid swelling, and redness of the eyes.[1] It is believed to work by stopping the creation of viral DNA.[1]

Trifluridine was approved for medical use in the United States in 1980.[1][2] It is available as a generic medication and is also sold under the trade name Viroptic.[3][1] In the United States a 7.5 ml container costs about 74 USD.[3] It is also a component of the anti-cancer medication trifluridine/tipiracil.[4]
